If Sammy shoves over DB's raise and they get it all in for a million $ pot with set vs straightflush, how many times are they running the river? Or does DB just tell Sammy they will play for what the pot was after the flop, and he can take his turn bet/raise back?

Hey guys, I played this hand today against the biggest fish at the table. I knew he had the straight on the river but I hit my magic jack and had to call. Is there any way to get away from this?

flop call is standard IMO, get in a value raise on river now that you have top pair and call any shove. That circus guy, whatever his name is, is definitely bluffing in this spot.

[chezwiz75]

If you take the names out of the hand on the PA vs Farha hand and just post the hand in any of the strategy forums here the hero on the J9 hand would get slaughtered and welcomed into many HU for rolls matches. It is a bad re-raise and he knew it when sammy insta-called.... but he gets the pass because he is PA....

[john voight]

wtf

do all high stakes players go all in with top pair?

[/ QUOTE ]

Standard play in PA's spot is to call flop and get it in on some turns (non diamond, low cards T or lower, A-Q are kinda bad but not really against sammy). Maybe call some turns, and fold the really ugly ones. But sammy isn't a standard player and in a rr pot with that much money already in, PA's play is only slightly bad if anything.

[Moovyz]

I agree that PA is definately one of the best cash game players around and #1 in the current lineup but I think Brad Booth is better. I'm hoping he turns up at some point in this session.

Booth has zero fear and never thinks of the cash as anything but tools to get the job done!
